Woke up this Morning and discovered a minor problem.
Did a check for new tv shows that were loaded over night only to find a bunch of titles(series not episodes) that had already been scraped, but were being marked as "new". There was no new 'Episodes' in the list just the 'Series'
Rescraped the titles and noticed that the new titles were being scraped but without the year at the end like it had been prior.
So for example "Titans (2018)" when re scraped came up as "Titans" without the year on the end.
Using version latest.12 if that helps on windows 10.
just me again.
thanks for your time and program.
Hi dev.
Is there any way to avoid the gibberish in the bio when scraping an artist?
thanks for your time and effort
Hi,
A bit of a problem building on debian 11.

Hi, this needs to be fixed by me. What scraper did you use? :-)

The solution was to update the git submodule with `git submodule update --init`. The latest MediaElch version has updated its dependency on QuaZip.
I answered this in MediaElch's GitHub issues. :-)

1) how do I set up for movie sets that are arranged as per Movie_set_information_folder (wiki) I can't seem to get MediaElch to recognise the artwork I have saved!
2) how do I get ME to recognise that I have fanarts (and character posters?) in the main movie folder as opposed to a sub-folder??
3) in music, is there a way to get ME to ignore the information folder that kodi generates as part of Artist_information_folder (wiki)
Hi,
I'll try to answer this as best as I can:
1) Where have you stored your artwork? MediaElch does not support the latest artwork folder conventions, yet.
2) In settings, there is an option in "Settings" -> "Movie" -> "Movie Set Artwork": Set this to "Artwork next to movies". That should do the trick.
3) If I remember correctly, no. :/

Thanks. This issue happens with discogs.
I have since updated to 2.8.12 and using Musicbrainz mostly fixes the issue.
There are only two minor "issues" I'm left with.
* the character "&" doesn't pull properly and is replaced with "&"
* The program also adds leading lines before the biography.
From my testing of about 15 artists, the gap can range between 2 and 9 lines. I couldn't find any rhyme or reason that caused the difference.
I assume Musicbrainz, The Audio DB and AllMusic are pulling from the same source? I am getting the same error from all three.
Like i said, these are minor issues and wouldn't expect them to be high priority since i can (mostly) manually fix them.
Thanks again

Thank you very much. I found the issue in our code base and fixed it.
Your issue will be resolved by

Just wondering if there is a trick to getting show ID'S from all 4(soon to be 3) scrapers at the same time.
When i click TMDB TV it will get ID's from TMDB ,TVDB and IMDB but not maze.
If i click Maze it will get ID's from Maze TVDB and ImDB but not TMDB.
If I click IMDB it will get IMDB.
And if I click TVDB it seems to be random, but no Maze again.
So is there any way to set it up so it gets available ID's from all 4?
Thanks for your time and Program

Hi,
at the moment, this is not possible.

Do you have a reason for wanting all 4 id's?
TVDB is used by addons such as WatchedList
IMDB is used by addons such as LightIMDB
TMDB is also used by LightIMDB and a couple of other addons.
As far as I am aware TV Maze ID's are not used anywhere. But it is important to have the above three ID's.

My primary Scraper is TMDb but I have several TV shows that are not found on TMDB that I require TVDB to scrape/rename with. Then I have the anime and Doctor Who 1965 that use the MAZE naming scheme, and the Japanese shows that are only found using MAZE. Of the 4 - IMDB is my least used scraper.
So to Scrape the photos and create the infos for each I also have to have the correct ID's. And I have found that several of the shows use different numbering to episode titles so for me to match them correctly I need the ID from the correct source.
and it is a lot easier to just have all 4 id's grabbed at the same time, rather than running the scraper/renamer only to find there is no ID from the source I need for the series.
Thanks for your time.

There is now an
image available to run MediaElch on Raspberry Pi and Mac OS.
